COW filesystems have more write amplification than non-COW FS's, which will wear out the SSD more quickly.

- Dylan16807 5y agoThey'll have some write amplification at the filesystem level but should cause less amplification at the drive level. Either way very few workloads get anywhere near wearing out an SSD, and the upsides of CoW features are almost always much higher than the risk of wearing out a drive. I'd say they fit just fine on an SSD.
